Jackdaw vs. Santa Isabel

'Jackdaw'' vs. Santa Isabel 'was a naval duel fought between the pirate brig Jackdaw and the Spanish Navy galleon Santa Isabel'' off Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in April 1717. The pirate brig, commanded by Edward Kenway, outmaneuvered the heavy man o' war as it was anchored off a beach near the bay, and the pirate ship blasted it with full broadsides. Santa Isabel was incapacitated by heavy cannon fire, and Kenway and his pirates proceeded to throw grappling hooks and board the Spanish ship. Captain Ambrosio de Acuna and several of his crew members were killed, and the pirates proceeded to cut down the Spanish flag, marking their control over the ship. Santa Isabel would be added to Kenway's pirate fleet, with Bradley Smithe becoming its new captain.
